Sponsored diet - Game for Life - FINISHED!

[Pokerron]

Hi All

As of 1st January 2006 I am going to be going on a diet with the aim of losing around 4 stone by 1st July 2006 (I reckon I weigh 20 stone give or take a stone!).   Obviously I have my own reasons for wanting to lose weight and its in my interest to do so.   I wanted to get some form of sponsorship (xp per pound lost, that sort of thing) as I want a charity to benefit and also to help with self motivation. 

With that in mind I will be doing this to raise money for Game for Life (Reg Charity No:1108681) through its Poker4Charity campaign.

I also want to make sure that the charity benefits, even if I fail in my aim to lose weight.   Therefore I will include two clauses.   

1) If I don't lose at least a stone by 1st July (sounds easier than it is for me!!) that I will match the average price per pound pledge and pay it x 1000 so if the average price per pound is 20p I would give £200 on top of the money raised for any pounds lost. 

2) If come 1st July I have put on weight I would match the average pledge x 2000

If anyone would like to sponsor me then please reply here with a pledge.  Its obviously up to you how much you offer and on what terms, but I think a x pence per lb lost would be best in terms of raising money, keeping it fun and helping with motivation.
Not to mention making me pay more if I fail!

Assuming this goes well and a few people pledge, I will provide weekly updates on this thread.

Thanks in advance

WTG Anthony!

You can stick me down for 20p per pound you lose. 

All the best m8, and I hope you will keep a diary to let us all know how you are coping.

Proof you have always been mad:

Most Respected S.B.T. Player      Due to my inability to last to the final table I haven't played with many people yet, but to date it's Tight End.

Only £2.10! Put the down for 50p a pound.

C'mon peeps, £5 per pound should be easily wrought if a few more help.
